Hmm? Another April DVD

I Think my last DVD Blog must have been from March. Oh well. This order was mostly non-fiction science and travel but I did go back through the work of several stars looking for things I missed. I reviewed John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Lana Turner, and Gregory Peck plus I looked at the work of Robert Taylor for the first time. Wayne, Bogart ,Grant and Peck each had such long and distinguished careers that I'm still not finished buying all their major movies. Spellbound and the Man in the Gray Flannel Suit are major films Gregory Peck made that have been out of print for a while, and John Wayne made so many popular movies that it could be while I finish buying all of his. Lana Turner and Robert Taylor were both major idols in the 40's but their earlier films are lessor known today and hard to find but I'll keep trying.
